Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 848 Bone Dragon
When the Demon King Sword is drawn, it will randomly select eight Soul Cards with Demon King card backs from the deck and place them face down.

In an instant, they can form an extremely powerful fighting force.

Furthermore, after these face-down Soul Cards are used, Soul Cards with card backs will automatically be pulled out of the deck and face-down, ensuring that there are always eight face-down Soul Cards behind Gu Zhihan at any time!

Just like the name of this ability, [Catastrophe Torrent] is a raging, unstoppable catastrophe that begins once battle begins!

This one ability alone already has an extremely high potential.

Covering a Soul Card is a skill that requires the Soul Card Master to first pay 80% of their Soul Energy to cover it, and then release the remaining 20% ​​at the right time.

This makes the speed of using the Soul Card faster and more flexible in the overall battle.

Now, this card-back ability is equivalent to directly canceling the consumption of 80% of the soul energy.

Although the placement of Soul Cards is random, it is usually sufficient.

If all Soul Cards only consume a quarter of their value, the boost to melee Soul Card Masters would be terrifying.

The downside is... this means that Soul Cards with card backs can only be activated after being set, but that's acceptable.

Furthermore, the Demon King Card's abilities don't stop there.

The eight soul cards should be placed behind Gu Zhihan, on the dark red back of the cards, with a single eye constantly turning.

King Bartonora's will radiates outwards as the eyes on Naka's back gaze upon him, a fact that Yu Cang, standing beside Gu Zhihan, has already deeply felt.

The arrogance and tyranny of an ancient tribe's king, coupled with mythical-level energy fluctuations, are enough to render the weak incapable of action.

Like now.

The Dragon Bone Heavenly Mountain, which had been roaring incessantly just moments before, has now fallen silent.

Burning ice spread across the land, and in the distance, the high-ranking, legendary auras that had been rising one after another fled in disarray under the Demon King's gaze.

Yu Cang could see clearly that a decaying undead giant bird in the distance had already taken to the sky and was about to swoop down on them, but after drawing the Demon King Sword and releasing the Soul Card, it immediately made a sudden stop in mid-air and quickly flew away into the distance.

It definitely didn't sense Gu Zhihan's strength in killing the zombie giant with a single sword strike. When it fled, Gu Zhihan had just drawn his sword and hadn't even revealed his aura yet. It was truly just those eight face-down cards that scared it away.

Although the demon king's oppressive aura wasn't explicitly stated in the effects description, its effects were undeniably powerful.

Once revealed, it's a threat that keeps out small fry, and according to Yu Cang's perception, it can significantly affect the opponent's condition even in battles of the same level.

This result was a pleasant surprise.

Yu Cang nodded, and then said, "Auntie, let's test the [Depletion Curse] next."

This ability is truly heavyweight!

Gu Zhihan nodded slightly, and then raised the Demon King Sword.

hum!
Turning around, he lightly swept his longsword across, instantly shattering the eight Soul Release Cards!

Cards placed face down on the field are not invincible and can be destroyed. Now, Gu Zhihan has personally destroyed them all and sent them into their death cooldown.

This triggered the [Depletion Curse].

Bang!
The dark red soul card shattered in mid-air, and in addition to the exploding soul card fragments, countless scarlet energies spread outwards!

If the Soul Card is destroyed during the application process, the damage will spread to the surrounding areas with the card facing away from it!
hum!
Gu Zhihan's deck certainly doesn't only contain ice-attribute spell cards. At this moment, as the crimson energy spreads, the other soul cards are also being added to the card backs!
And that's not all.

Yu Cang's mind stirred, and his consciousness sank into his card box. Sure enough—

Even the Soul Card in his own card box now had the scarlet pattern and the Demon King's single eye on its back!
The target of this card back is not only Gu Zhihan's soul card, but also others'!

This power is quite bizarre. Yu Cang tried to avoid its influence using the techniques of a typical Soul Card Master, but he couldn't do it at all.

Yu Cang is also a national protector, and if he can't do it, then others probably can't either.

This card back is like a virus; it spreads to all sides!

After attaching the card back, it will also be affected by the [Depletion Curse], and must be face-down before activation... which is quite troublesome.

Spell cards are fine, but if you set a Summon card and then flip it over, your Soul Energy will be significantly depleted. Moreover, some Soul cards, such as those in the Extra Deck, cannot be set to Summon at all. This can even seal away the Extra Deck!
And there's one more thing.

That is... the act of blocking and then activating the device creates an extra gap on the field compared to activating it directly.

No matter how fast you operate, this gap will still exist.

For melee Soul Card Masters who are already extremely skilled at interrupting Soul Card usage with precise timing, this gap is large enough to allow them to unleash a full combo.

Given the opportunity, Gu Zhihan could use [Blood Sea Drink] to destroy the soul card you placed the moment you placed it, preventing you from using the soul card and wasting your soul energy.

Furthermore, once those Soul Cards are destroyed, the [Exhaustion Curse] will be triggered immediately, continuing to spread in all directions.

What is a minor flaw for Gu Zhihan is a fatal weakness for her opponent!
Furthermore, with the weakening effect of the Demon King's gaze, Gu Zhihan will possess a terrifying suppressive power in his battles against human Soul Card Masters.

And that's not all.

Following the outbreak of the [Depletion Curse], another ability was subsequently triggered.

[Natural disaster and flood]!
hum!
Gu Zhihan's Demon King Sword Sheath in her deck fired out countless scarlet threads that spread outwards, and Yu Cang, who was standing next to her, was the first to be affected.

A scarlet thread reached into Yu Cang's card box, pulling out three soul cards, and then placed the cover behind... Gu Zhihan.

Gu Zhihan glanced at the backs of the three cards and then said, "...I can use them."

Yes, when [Cataclysmic Torrent] draws its sword, it randomly selects from its own deck, but when replenishing its power after being set and consumed... it randomly selects from all directions!
Naturally, this also includes Soul Cards with the Demon King card back in other people's decks!

With this ability, Gu Zhihan can directly take the Soul Cards from other people's decks and use them. Although it is random, as long as he gets the key Soul Card, it will be a huge profit.

Looking at this scene, Yu Cang stroked his chin, carefully sensing it.

Hmm... this ability is quite bizarre, but fortunately, compared to the [Depletion Curse], at least those scarlet threads can still be resisted.

Attacking can cut those threads, but there are too many threads, probably related to the amount of blood in the Demon King's sword sheath, making it very difficult to completely defend against them.

Moreover, his own fully connected soul card... seems unlikely to be taken away by this ability, and it would even be difficult to attach it to the back of the card.

This should be the advantage of fully connecting Soul Cards.

However, the scariest thing isn't that.

Yu Cang's expression hardened slightly. He raised his hand and took out a Soul Card with the Demon King's card attached to its back from the deck, then covered it with his divine power.

The rhythm within this Soul Card is being slowly destroyed by the Demon King's card back!

When a Soul Card other than the Ice attribute has a Demon King Card back, its rhythm will be continuously absorbed!
This card back, like the Burning Ice, can directly destroy the Soul Card itself and absorb the destroyed part into the Demon King's Sword Sheath, becoming the Demon King's Sword's "Undying Supplies".

A smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips.

His line of thinking was indeed correct.

This ability comes from the Bartonora demon race's ability [Demon Fire], but Yu Cang made some modifications to transform it into an ice attribute.

Under his design, only ice-attribute soul cards can be sealed and contain demonic fire, while other attributes cannot escape the fate of gradually being destroyed under the scorching of demonic fire.

In terms of ability, this manifests as destructive power that directly affects the Soul Card itself.

In retrospect, this combination has been quite successful.

Those Bartonora demons are mostly of the dual attributes of fire and darkness, making it extremely difficult to create an ice attribute card back.

Conversely, since ice attribute can already be successfully achieved, other attributes will naturally follow suit.

While Yu Cang was pondering, he had already come up with a complete card back production process in his mind. He just needed to go back and summarize and improve it a little before handing it over to the association so that other card makers could also learn to make mythical card backs.

After briefly reviewing the situation in his mind, Yu Cang came back to his senses.

The compatibility of this soul card with Gu Zhihan was even better than he had imagined.

It's not just about the compatibility of abilities; most importantly, Gu Zhihan can bring out at least half of the potential of this soul card.

It should be noted that although Zhenguo has the ability to use myths, he can usually only use one or two abilities. But now, in Gu Zhihan's hands, all the abilities of this soul card can be used normally!
Aside from Gu Zhihan's own strength, the reason for his power should be the unique nature of the Card Back Soul Card and the cooperation of King Bartonora himself.

The abilities of Soul Cards on the card back are generally passive, taking effect as soon as they are placed in the Soul Card deck. This doesn't require the Soul Card Master to bear the immense pressure of summoning Mythical Beings. The pressure this card brings to Gu Zhihan... comes more from the Bartonora King card back spirit. And this pressure is too easy to solve... With Yu Cang's card-making skills, he can easily forge the Soul Card into a prison that Bartonora King can never escape.

Therefore, it seems that the Soul Card on the back of the card is a Soul Card that is naturally suitable for use in protecting the nation!
Thinking this, he casually placed his hand on the card box at his waist. With a slight activation of his divine sense and imperial heart, he wiped away all the card backs attached to his soul card.

Ordinary Soul Card Masters' skills are no match for the invasion of the [Exhaustion Curse], but Yu Cang is clearly not within the scope of ordinary Soul Card Masters.

This casual gesture, though seemingly casual, secretly alarmed Gu Zhihan.

Although no one expected this mythical soul card to actually work on Cang, the creator, the fact that he granted such a casual exemption still made people uneasy.

No matter what... this is a Mythical Soul Card...

"Auntie, I've received the relevant data."

Yu Cang reached into his robes and took out a small totem.

"Next, I'll trouble you to test it out more in the battle, Auntie."

Bang!
Yu Cang infused the totem with soul energy, and instantly, the totem shattered into fragments that exploded in his palm.

Then, the fragments seemed to turn into shimmering points of light, scattering in all directions... and the earth trembled.

Gu Zhihan glanced into the distance: "Is it alright to kill the bone dragon?"

“Of course,” Yu Cang nodded. “I’ve already put in a good word.”

That totem we just saw was the key to sealing that transcendent, legendary bone dragon beast!

He crushed it, which meant that the bone dragon was about to break free from its seal—and then die under Gu Zhihan's sword.

The core of the perilous Bone Dragon Heavenly Mountain is the Bone Dragon Wild Beast. Once it dies, this perilous place will rapidly decline, falling from legendary status to epic status. The rhythmic value it contains will evaporate into thin air, resulting in incalculable losses.

But for Yu Cang now, it doesn't matter.

He told the association, got the key, and then came over.

Once they've finished dismantling and left, professional personnel will come to clean up the battlefield and dispose of the remains of this dangerous site in a harmless manner.

The association didn't ask Yu Cang what he wanted to do, that's not important. After all, Yu Cang had taken time out of his busy schedule to call and apply, how could they refuse?

Even if you demolish it without applying, no one will say anything—besides, at the cost of a legendary perilous place, to create a mythical soul card or even a whole system of them, isn't that a great deal?

boom!
The earth trembled, and a bright light suddenly rose from the horizon not far away!
throat!!!
A rough, decaying dragon's roar rose from the ground, and turbid waves swept in!

The turbid wind that was rushing towards Gu Zhihan automatically bypassed him as soon as he focused his gaze on the card behind him.

Gu Zhihan looked ahead and saw a huge, ghostly shadow stretching across the sky.

Ancient dragon.

Beneath the colossal dragon skeleton, covered in verdigris, floated a massive, glittering, desolate crystal within its ribs, its light constantly shifting between light and shadow, like a heart.

Gu Zhihan could sense that this transcendent legendary item was absolutely outstanding even among items of the same level—because it was once a true legend!
After a spirit beast is infected and turns into a wild beast, its strength will generally decline, but its "health bar" will increase, making it more durable.

Among them are many mythical spirit beasts that, after being infected by wild beasts, experienced a direct drop in their cultivation level, becoming transcendent beings.

Even so, it is still an invincible power, and generally it takes several national treasures to fight against it!
At this moment, only Gu Zhihan is standing here.

She didn't say anything, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and then her whole body shot out!

Behind him, a soul card was flipped open.

The Cold King's Retinue - A Personal Snow-Covered Expedition!

Bang!
The soul card shattered, and blood-red snowflakes spread out, as if transforming into the cloak behind her. In an instant, Gu Zhihan's speed increased dramatically, and in the blink of an eye, her figure had already swept across the sky, heading straight for the bone dragon!

During the flight, Gu Zhihan first swept his longsword, shattering all the remaining soul cards behind him.

None of these soul cards are the ones she wants to use; she needs to destroy some cards first to exchange for a new batch of soul cards.

Bang!
The Curse of Exhaustion spread out, and at that moment, Gu Zhihan's eyes narrowed.

Ok?
At this moment, the ancient dragon had already stepped into the range of her [Exhaustion Curse], so she saw... that the scarlet card back pattern was also beginning to spread on the ancient dragon's body!

Can the [Curse of Exhaustion] still work on wild beasts?
However, since wild beasts are not soul cards, they cannot have card backs...

While it was pondering, a large area of ​​scarlet patterns had already spread across the bone dragon's body. Within these patterns, large and small demon king eyes opened, a sight that was truly terrifying...

Then, Gu Zhihan felt blood continuously flowing from the Demon King's sword sheath.

So that's how it is. The card back absorbs soul card fragments, so when it possesses a wild beast, it absorbs blood?

reasonable.

Once Gu Zhihan made up his mind, he immediately raised his longsword and leaped into the air.

[Drink the Blood Sea Dry!]
Zheng!
A crimson sword beam tore through the sky, and with one strike, the ancient dragon howled in agony!
So strong!

Gu Zhihan's pupils contracted, and then a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

I didn't feel anything when I annihilated the zombie giant just now, but now that I've encountered a real tough opponent, I can feel the power of the Demon King's Sword Sheath.

Before, she would have needed layers of magic to barely break through the bone dragon's defenses, but now... with a single sword strike, she had severed most of the ancient dragon's ribs!
This is still the [Blood Sea Drinker] with very little blood remaining!
The Demon King's roar echoed in my ears again, and just then—

Bang!
Gu Long swung his tail and struck Gu Zhihan, sending him flying over a thousand meters.

boom!
She swung her sword suddenly, and the blood-red snowflakes exploded, barely stopping in mid-air.

"...I was careless."

Gu Zhihan's expression hardened slightly.

The overwhelming sense of power shocked her, and the sudden increase in the Demon King's roar made it impossible for her to dodge, resulting in her taking the hit.

Even though he instinctively raised his sword to block, his internal organs were still impacted, and judging from his condition, he probably had some internal bleeding.

It seems I still need to get used to the feeling of a strange voice yelling in my ear.

However, it's not a big problem.

She raised the Demon King Sword, her other hand loosely gripping the blade. Then, layers of crimson energy emanated from the blade and surged into her body.

[Drink the Blood Sea Dry!]
Heal the body with fresh blood!
In a short time, her body, which had been seriously injured, recovered rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, she had returned to her peak condition.

This is so useful.

Gu Zhihan took a deep breath.

So, it's time to end the fight.

She raised her longsword, and then—the eight soul cards behind her were flipped open at the same time!

The Soul Card with the Demon King card back has an interesting way of being flipped open—the Demon King's single eye in the center suddenly opens to its widest point, and the image on the Soul Card is reflected in its blood-red pupil...

Then, all the soul cards shattered into scarlet snowflakes, converging towards the longsword in Gu Zhihan's hand.

With only 20% of the cost, using eight spell cards at the same time is no problem!
boom!
Gu Zhihan's aura surged instantly, and a chilling coldness permeated the heavens and earth!

"—Drink the sea of ​​blood dry!"

Zheng!
……

"ended."

Yu Cang withdrew his gaze, the starlight in his eyes gradually fading.

He focused his gaze on the blank soul card in his hand, and under the influence of his divine power, rhythmic patterns continuously appeared on it out of thin air.

"Very good data—uh, mythical data, can Lin Yunqing organize it... never mind, anyway, it went very smoothly."
